Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book delves into the complexities of the Chaturvarnya system, which categorizes society into four classes: Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, and Shudras. It argues that this classification extends beyond mere division, imposing a hierarchy that enforces inequality, particularly affecting the Shudras. Positioned at the lowest tier, Shudras face significant social restrictions and humiliation, preventing their advancement. The emergence of the Untouchables further exacerbates their plight, highlighting the critical and often overlooked issues surrounding the Shudra population's status in society.
